I agree with that LFL has the money to make a new DI they just don't want to because to them it's expensive. But the puzzling thing is other studios can restore the classics and great films but why not Lucas with the OT? I support LFL and GL but me this is puzzling.

Because he doesn't want to. That's it. He doesn't want people to watch the original versions, he only wants people to watch the new ones. Which is why he released the GOUT in such appalling quality, and why he never released the 1997 SE on DVD.

Same goes for THX 1138 and American Graffiti. He doesn't want people to see the studio-tampered theatrical cuts of those, just the restored cuts he got to release in 1977 after Star Wars became big. Now, with THX, he doesn't even want people to watch that version - only the CG-ized "Director's Cut" he released on DVD in 2004. He even CG'ed the opening shot of Graffiti for DVD, and I'll guarantee you he never lets the original version of said shot be seen again.

Sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant. My bad.
